evolving time

 
tic toc the clock goes round
sometimes time pines for yesterday
when things were carefree and young
time went by slowly
with summer thoughts it would never end

fast forward I'm chasing time
I can't catch up
things are changing too quickly
it seems we are running toward something
do we know yet what that is?

within the doubt I ask
with an opportunity to hear
sincere with curiosity
made of stardust
we all shine

lovely in presentation
uniquely tested for what reason
I can only guess
perhaps to move on
evolving ever evolving
in what we are to become

I'm not a person who takes things lightly
my mind is scarred from what I've seen here
I don't know the reason
I can't just look away
when someone is hurting
empathetic there pain becomes mine also

sometimes I am callous
with thoughts this is the way it is
and try to make my light of what I've ingested
but my confession this is just bravado

I just feel helpless to change what is happening
bad things to innocent people
happy days only come when I can shut out the noise
it doesn't happen very often
when faced with reality

maybe It's just me time is speaking to
hurry up girl keep going forward
there is no way out just onward
hoprfully with prescribed lessons learned
